Professor Chiara Mingarelli of the University of Connecticut tells Roland Pease why this is such an exciting discovery.  Supermassive black holes are at the heart of galaxies and they are the engines of quasars, the brightest light sources in the heavens that can b

Good Riddance

In less than 24 hours, Joe Biden will be President.

Kamala Harris will be Vice President.

 

And Donald Trump will be a disgraced ex-President, failed businessman, and a Twitter-less private citizen.

 

We are in the final hours of the worst presidency of our lifetimes, and one of the most destructive in our country's history.

 

For the first time in four years, the sitting president won't be a national security landmine, a walking emoluments clause violation, or a nepotist pimp dealing spoils and favors to loyalists and the highest bidders.

 

We will soon have a president who listens to scientists instead of conspiracy theorists, experts instead of provocateurs, and trusted legal minds instead of pillow salesmen.

 

Our new president will consider the human toll of the raging pandemic before his political posturing.

 

Our new president will defend the values of liberal democracy, instead of abandoning our allies and cozying up to autocrats and oppressors.

 

Our new president will work for all Americans—not just himself and the privileged few.

Those that would ride the whirlwind

Those then, who resist a confirmation of public order, are the true Artificers of monarchy—not that this is the intention of the generality of them. Yet it would not be difficult to lay the finger upon some of their party who may justly be suspected. When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may "ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.
